When the list of new releases on Netflix comes out every month, it sometimes feels like the leading streamer has opened up a firehose of content of all types: scripted, unscripted, international, and more. With everyone’s limited time, it’s hard to figure out which shows you want to sit down and binge.
The crew at Decider know how tough it is to figure what to watch… and we do this for a living. So let us be your guide. Below are quick previews of what we think the ten hottest, most intriguing series to debut on the service in November will be. They aren’t all Netflix Originals (though most are because of that firehose); just shows we know people will want to watch. Which shows will make it into the Netflix Top 10? Only time will tell!
'Dawson's Creek' Seasons 1-6
PREMIERE DATE: November1
CAST: James Van Der Beek, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, Michelle Williams
RATING: TV-14
DESCRIPTION: All six seasons of the 1998-2003 series that launched the careers of all four of its stars lands on Netflix on November 1 (It’s also on Hulu). Millennials can relive their teenage years by rewatching the romances, breakups and other the teen/YA mishegas endured by Dawson, Joey, Jen and Pacey in their small coastal Massachusetts town.
'Country Ever After'
PREMIERE DATE: November 4
CAST: Coffey Anderson, Criscilla Anderson
RATING: NA
DESCRIPTION: Coffey Anderson is a country star, and his wife Criscilla is a hip-hop dancer. Country Ever After is a feel-good reality series that chronicles their marriage and lives, including what Netflix describes as “tests of faith.” We want to see them combine country and hip-hop in one song. That would test anybody’s faith.
'Dash & Lily'
PREMIERE DATE: November 10
CAST: Midori Francis, Austin Abrams
RATING: TV-PG
DESCRIPTION: We couldn’t find any pictures of Dash (Abrams) and Lily (Francis) together, then we read the description of this holiday-themed series, and we understood. The cynical Dash and optimistic Lily somehow find each other via notes scribbled in a notebook that they pass to each other around different romantic New York locations (pre-pandemic, natch). Will they end up together in person? Probably, but who knows?
'The Liberator'
PREMIERE DATE: November 11
CAST: Bradley James, Martin Sensmeier, Jose Miguel Vasquez, Mike Rowe, Ross Anderson Ross Anderson, Billy Breed
RATING: TV-MA
DESCRIPTION: Created by Jeb Stuart and based on a book by Alex Kershaw, this animated drama is about a diverse Army unit from Oklahoma, led by Captain Felix Sparks (James) that lands in Italy in July, 1943 and sets off on a grueling 500-day march across Europe to liberate various countries from Nazi rule. The epic scenes are animated using a method called “Trioscope Enhanced Hybrid Animation”, which promises to be more detailed than traditional rotoscoping. Should be a visually riveting series, at the very least.
'A Queen Is Born'
PREMIERE DATE: November 11
CAST: Gloria Groove and Alexia Twister
RATING: TV-14
DESCRIPTION: In Netflix’s first Brazilian reality series, drag queens Gloria Groove and Alexia Twister enlist a team of experts to help aspiring drag queens become their best, most glamorous selves. Expect lots of eyelashes, glitter and slinky dresses, but it should also give viewers a Queer Eye vibe.
'The Crown' Season 4
PREMIERE DATE: November 15
CAST: Olivia Colman, Josh O’Connor, Gillian Anderson, Emma Corrin
RATING: TV-MA
DESCRIPTION: As we enter the late 1970s, England’s Queen Elizabeth (Colman) not only has to deal with the divisive policies of new Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (Anderson), but the chatter about her unmarried, 30-something son, Prince Charles (O’Connor). Of course, you know where this part of the story is going: In walks young teacher’s assistant Diana Spencer (Corrin), whose life is turned upside down when she and Charles get married. And everyone lived happily ever after, right? No?
'We Are The Champions'
PREMIERE DATE: November 17
CAST: Rainn Wilson (executive producer and narrator)
RATING: TV-MA
DESCRIPTION: Rainn Wilson is the executive producer and narrator of this docuseries that examines weird competitions and the passionate players and fans that are drawn to them. There will be episodes about cheese rolling, chili eating, dog dancing, frog jumping, fantasy hairstyling, and yo-yo trick competitions. All of them should be funny and weird. Well, at least they’ll be weird.
'Holiday Home Makeover With Mr. Christmas'
PREMIERE DATE: November 18

RATING: TV-PG
DESCRIPTION: Benjamin Bradley is an interior design expert with a particular love of Christmas and the holiday season — they don’t call him “Mr. Christmas” for nothing.

As long as he doesn’t start doing laser light shows, we’re all on board for this.

RATING: TV-14
DESCRIPTION: Seeking to create one of the most inspiring and powerful gospel choirs ever assembled, Bishop Ezekiel Williams sets out in the Hampton Roads, VA area to find the best and most diverse set of singers possible.

'Virgin River' Season 2

RATING: TV-14

As she and Jack deal with the pregnancy of Charmaine (Hammersley), Melinda has to figure out if Virgin River is going to be her home for good or not.
